BIG BAD Werewolf Film Takes a Bite from the 80’s

A playful nod to adventure films that finds a group of reluctant teenagers on a school field trip stranded overnight in an abandoned jail. Their chaperone goes missing, their patience is wearing thin, their cell service sucks and of course, something goes bump in the night! Can the police chief arrive in time before a big, hairy creature – dare-we-say-werewolf – eats them? It’s tough being a teen in a monster movie…

BEHIND THE STORY:

Adapted from an original spec script for a proposed R.L. Stein anthology series, Cooper describes Big Bad as an “80’s throwback children in peril film.” He remarks that it is less “The Breakfast Club” and more “The Monster Squad.”
